SAN ANTONIO — It's been a very successful opening month to the outdoor season for the UTSA men's track & field team, as four athletes currently rank among the top 20 nationally in their respective events.
Leading the way is the 400-meter hurdles duo of Jurmarcus Shelvin and Randy Bermea.
Shelvin stands in the fifth place with his personal-best time of 50.21 he registered three weeks ago at the Ricardo Romo Invitational, while Bermea is tied for eighth with his career-best clocking of 50.56, which came at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. The pair owns the top two times in Conference USA this spring.
Meanwhile, Adrian Riley is in 15th place in the decathlon standings. The sophomore from Kingston, Jamaica, set a personal record with his 7,190 points at the Ricardo Romo Invitational, a performance that stands fifth on the Roadrunners' all-time chart. Riley currently ranks second in the league.
The Roadrunners' fourth top-20 performer is Dusan Makevic, who ranks 17th in the 3,000m steeplechase with his career-best and conference-leading time of 8:52.86.
UTSA athletes also can be found all over the C-USA standings. In addition to leading three events, Roadrunners also reside in second place in four disciplines and third in a half dozen events.
UTSA will return to action on Saturday at the Texas Invitational in Austin.
